Welcoming a newborn child into your life is such a joyous occasion however it can be filled with concerns and questions regarding developmental milestones.

• We provide a thorough assessment of your child in relation to their
  developmental milestones.
• If there are any concerns we then devise a treatment plan to give your child the
  best possible start to life!

Fine and gross motor skills are crucial for your child’s everyday function and
participation in daily activities.

Fine Motor Skills

• Fine motor skills involve the intricate movement of smaller muscle groups (like those in your hands and fingers).
• These skills are essential for tasks like writing, buttoning up a shirt or using utensils and are closely linked to cognitive and sensory function.

Gross Motor Skills

• Gross motor skills encompass movements in the larger muscles of the body (like your legs and trunk).
• These muscles are in charge of movements like crawling, walking, running and
  jumping.
• These are fundamental skills that your child needs to navigate their environment safely and confidently.

Our team works to develop these skills during our sessions to support and enhance future quality of life.

We specialise in assessing and treating children with rare neurological and genetic
conditions. We aim to dive deep beneath the surface to find the root causes, ensuring that our expertise and comprehensive approach go beyond the diagnosis.

• Early intervention is imperative to influence a child’s developmental trajectory and long term health outcomes.
• Addressing concerns early enables us to utilise the brains amazing ability to
  adapt and reorganise – this process is called Neuroplasticity!
• This can involve a high volume of task practice and repetition while the young brain is still malleable – accelerating goal achievement and supporting your
  child’s development.

Children can sometimes face a range of different orthopaedic and musculoskeletal
issues including growing pains, fractures, joint disorders, and congenital conditions. This can impact your child’s mobility, comfort, and overall development.

We aim to restore function and alleviate pain by delving into the underlying causes of impairments and concerns, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to
treatment

Communication begins very early. Skills of eye contact and joint attention lay the
foundations for babbling, speech sounds, words and language. Encouraging
communication through talking and reading to your child can significantly enhance these skills.

Early Intervention is crucial for children who need support for speech and language
development. Addressing challenges early can improve outcomes in social interactions, academic success, and overall personal growth, laying a strong foundation for future communication abilities.

Feeding difficulties can affect a child’s growth, nutrition and overall wellbeing. Challenges can come in the form of fussy eating, trouble with certain textures, or challenges transitioning to solid foods. These issues can stem from sensory sensitivities, motor delays, or medical conditions.

Addressing feeding difficulties early can help improve a child’s ability to eat a variety of foods, support proper nutrition, and enhance their mealtime experience. If your child is facing feeding challenges, our Speech Pathologists can provide strategies and support for better feeding outcomes.

Children living with disability may sometimes undergo surgery for various reasons.
These procedures can include muscle lengthening, tendon transfers, hip surgery (hip
osteotomy), SEMLs or Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery.

We understand high quality rehabilitation before and after surgery is essential to
minimise complications and support your child’s return to mobility and independence. Our goal is to manage pain, improve mobility, rebuild strength and promote your child’s functional independence through a personalised plan of care.
